Perestroika
The school's primary objective is to offer courses that are fun and engaging as well as educative, based around Jacques Delors' four pillars of education - increasing knowledge, turning ideas into activity, being a part of the global community and having meaningful experiences. Offering courses in creative areas, such as advertising, sports journalism and professional cooking, alongside more business-minded options such as digital literacy and consumer behaviour, the teaching is designed to be highly interactive, with the ideas of students being integrated into lesson plans as much as those of the tutor.
Through its Project 1:1, Perestroika also teaches a free class to a child from a disadvantaged background for every student that signs up.
